Application Trouble

I cannot for any circumstances get my application to work. I have Ruby on Rails on Windows XP. It will NOT connect my database for some reason. I am using Instant Rails. I have Apache and MySQL turned on.

What I have tried: Start with Mongrel. Ruby script/server Changing my database.yml file

I have typed in: ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin dependency model exists app/models/ exists test/unit/ exists test/fixtures/ create app/models/product.rb create test/unit/product_test.rb : : create app/views/admin/show.rhtml create app/views/admin/new.rhtml create app/views/admin/edit.rhtml create app/views/admin/_form.rhtml

When I go to my page. Here is what I see: Action Controller: Exception caught Routing Error

no route found to match "/admin" with {:method=>:get}

There is nothing in my controller folder. Is there suppose to be? Does anyone know what I am doing wrong.

When I try rake db:migrate it says: #28000Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password:NO)

I am not real familiar with instant rails, but that error is coming from mysql. I believe instant rails comes with phpmyadmin, make sure your server is running and if it is, make sure you are using the correct username and password in config/database.yml. Mysql allows root to connect from localhost with no password on a default install, but I am not sure if InstantRails has overridden this. You would need to check their documentation.

this mean that there is no action for /admin or index try adding this to your admin controller

def index   redirect_to :action => 'list" end

Hi Watson

Did you define the mysql password in the donfig/database.yml ?
